Plumbing your Fleck 7000SE Meter:
•
Before beginning your installation, please first familiarize yourself with the “IN”
and “OUT” on the Autotrol LOGIX 255-760 Meter Valve.
In order to prevent
damage to your home and to the softener system, install the softener
according to the “IN” and “OUT” arrows on the softener valve!
•
Find the main shut-off valve for your house and turn it to the “OFF” position. If
you have a private well, this valve should be near your well pressure tank. If you
have a city water supply, your valve should be near your water meter.
•
Depressurize and drain your home of water by turning on all faucets and fixtures
in your home, including those outside.
•
Pick your installation point, and cut a section of pipe out to run to and from your
softener.
NOTE: In many cases, it is preferred to keep outside lines
UNSOFTENED. If you wish to keep your outside lines unsoftened, you must
plumb “Bypass” lines to run hard water to these fixtures.
•
Using soldered copper, PVC plastic pipe, or flexible connections, plumb the
system according to all local plumbing codes.
NOTE: If using copper pipe,
please pre-fabricate at least a 12” section of pipe for the “IN” and “OUT”
bound lines and use a wet rag on the lines being soldered to prevent heat
damage during soldering!
•
Once all connections have been made, place the system into bypass by either
using your existing 3-valve bypass, or by switching your included bypass to “IN
BYPASS” position. The two bypass knobs should be pointing left-to-right.
•
Next, gradually open your main valve and allow all air in your plumbing lines to
escape slowly. Also, you may turn off all outside and inside faucets and fixtures.
•
Check for leaks at your plumbing site for signs of slow drips, and rectify if
necessary.
•
Please DO NOT position the bypass valve to “IN SERVICE” at this time, as the
installation is completed yet!
NOTE: Please take this opportunity to check and
re-check the “IN” and “OUT” to make sure that they are correct!
